Bobbi Redd - The Cost Lyrics

I still had years and years and years to go
I don't really want to chase you down
Is there still time, still time, still time to spare
I always want to get the last word in

Ooooh is it lost to me
Ooooh is it lost to you

And I would wish you well but I
I wouldn't try
Yes I would wish you well but I
I wouldn't try

Gather the children, cover their ears and eyes
They don't have to watch the curtain fall (oh it's bittersweet, oh it's bittersweet)
I guess one day they're gonna know, gonna know, gonna know
Gonna recognize a dangling thread
Guess I'm meant to play the fool again (I can hardly speak, I can hardly breathe)

Ooooh at what cost to me (at what cost to me)
Ooooh at what cost to you

Yes I would wish you well but I
I wouldn't try
Yes I would wish you well
But I, I wouldn't try
'Cause you don't even know you keep me down

Oh no no
Then just leave

Guess I'm glad it's lost to me
